Cystic teratoma of the pancreas: presentation, evaluation and management.

CONTEXT: Congenital cystic lesions of the pancreas are rare findings. Furthermore, a dermoid cyst of the pancreas is exceptionally uncommon. A review of the world literature shows 18 documented cases. The pre-operative evaluation of this lesion is rather questionable, with definitive diagnosis taking place intra-operatively. CASE REPORT: A 52-year-old male with a symptomatic, 3-cm cystic-type mass in the pancreas. CONCLUSIONS: From our case presentation and review of the world literature, we hope to establish an increased awareness in the diagnostic evaluation of these patients.

Vertebral venous air embolism: an unusual complication following colonoscopy: report of a case.

Although fiberoptic colonoscopy has gained wide popularity as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool, there remains an inherent complication rate following colonoscopic evaluation. Endoscopically induced bowel perforation and uncontrolled bleeding often necessitate immediate surgical intervention. Another often-unrecognized complication is the introduction of air into the vertebral venous system. A case of vertebral venous air embolism after routine diagnostic colonoscopy is reported with a review of current literature.

Incidental gallbladder carcinoma associated with a cholecystoduodenal fistula.

The development of a cholecystoduodenal fistula may complicate 5% of all patients with cholelithiasis. It has been theorized that a cholecystoduodenal fistula may represent a significant risk factor in the development of gallbladder carcinoma because of the chronic reflux of duodenal contents. We report the case of a patient with a cholecystoduodenal fistula and an early gallbladder cancer to support this theory. Once developed, gallbladder cancer has a very poor prognosis. Early detection with timely resection is necessary to improve the survival rate in gallbladder carcinoma patients.
